Abstract
The incidence of bedsores varies from 3 to 40%, with a maximum of 80% in patients in critical condition for a long time. The purpose of this review is to analyze the range of methods of decubitus therapy, which have been shown to be effective in conservative treatment. The objectives of the study included: a) analysis of available literature sources; b) identification of effective methods of decubitus therapy; c) analysis of methods of prevention of bedsores. Thirty-one scientific publications from PubMed, Scopus databases since 2020 were analyzed. The analyzed methods included vacuum therapy, ultrasound methods, hydrosurgery, plasma flow method, laser application, electrostimulation, and a complex combination of methods. Many involved methods give the choice in therapy strategy. The most expedient and effective is the complex combination of methods. Conclusions.
